How sister sizing works
Sister sizes keep cup volume close while changing band tension. Down one band, up one cup. Up one band, down one cup.
Common mistakes
- Changing the band but forgetting to adjust the cup in the opposite direction.
- Comparing different bra styles at once, which makes fit feedback harder to trust.
- Assuming cup letters are absolute volume across all band sizes.
